England Hampshire Lepe Beach The Solent The South Isle of Wight bait diggers freighter island sand bar shipsDad was 75 when he painted this picture. He only made very occasional forays into watercolour in his later years and the technique he used was very different from that of his early years. It feels as if the paint is dryish and unable to soak into the pores of the paper, except for the lyrical suggestion of the Isle of Wight hills. This dryness gives a texture to the sea and a feeling of glinting light.
Richard included bait diggers as a main subject or tiny in the foreground or background in dozens of works.
